Join us for an activity session walking both on and off paths. You will have the opportunity to learn important skills including how to read a map, navigate and how to stay safe. Our informed and experienced instructors will tell you facts and historical information about the area as you walk and you will see stunning scenery and enjoy panoramic views when you celebrate the achievement of reaching the top. Whether you’re looking for a gentle half-day walk or a more challenging full or multi-day mountainous terrain activity we can provide an itinerary that suits you at a variety of locations.
No experience is necessary, our fully qualified instructors will tailor the activity to your abilities and beginners are very welcome.
